Now, with a successful collaboration with Brook&Lyn under their belts and a major fashion week presentation in the works (including a shout-out from Gen Art), we knew it was the perfect time to peep one of their stylishly-stuffed satchels. Here, Darlene spills the five essentials she never leaves the house without (including a smattering of pen options and a back-up iPod--just in case).

1. Planner: "I love planners. This is one of my favorite planners as of yet. My sister Lizzy and I are currently running around the garment district getting ready for our Fall runway show next week, and it's important that know where I'm supposed to be, and when."

2. iPod Options: "I have two iPods that I rotate listening to on a daily basis. People ask me why I have two; If the other one loses battery, I always have something to listen to."
